4.7* at 84 reviewers, I was hopeful. Was a chilly day and was looking for something soupy. Pho is typically my go to. Decided to try this spot. I got the house special. I get the house special everywhere I go. Normally, I like to get my rare steak on the side. As if you put thin slices of "rare" steak into a hot bowl of soup, it instantly becomes well done. I had asked the waiter to put my rare steak on the side. He could have just said no, but he tells me they don't sell raw meat. The answer was a little off putting. I had asked for extra lime and basil, well as nuoc beo. Iykyk. Waiter said ok to my requests... but never brought it out. I had reminded him, but he didn't seem to care. This place is definitely not for me. I wouldn't recommend to anyone who also has pho on a weekly basis. $20 for a bowl of low quality pho is crazy talk. If I could rate the food separately from the cleanliness of the restaurant... food would be 1.4* and cleanliness gets a 4.7* read more

Love this place, great experience. The pho broth was rich, aromatic and full of flavorthe service was fast very friendly The prices were reasonable for the quality and portion size I would defently would recommend this place 10 outta 10 read more

This spot kept changing ownership ever since the T-Box burned down more than ten years ago. I saw that they opened Pho U a couple weeks ago and been meaning to try it so I finally decided to come during the new year rainy week. Got the house special pho which comes with a combination of meats and it was great. Super clean broth and good amount of meat pieces. All the meats were well cooked and none were hard to chew on or anything of the sort. I was really impressed with how good and clean the broth was and so glad that they opened in La Crescenta. The other options in the area are not as good unfortunately. Highly recommend it! read more

Pho U - House special pho - Vietnamese Near Me - La Crescenta-Montrose, California

I happened to be out in La Crescenta after work one evening and was getting pretty hungry, so I decided to look for some pho (thank you, trusty Yelp). Ended up at this little spot and went with the #1 House Special Pho. The bowl was a good size, and the broth was clean and light without being oily. The noodles were cooked just right, and I liked that they included sliced white onions with the veggies. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality given the area (not too many food options around here). The pho was solid, and I'd definitely come back if I was in the area again. read more

I loved their soup noodles so far. I mostly lean toward soups that aren't stuffed with too many ingredients, and this place checked that box. My husband also enjoyed the meal. I do have to say that Spring Rolls could be more savory but overall we had a good time eating at this place. Thai tea is just the right sweetness level. I want to add that the owners are welcoming and swift with their service. The place is clean, as is the bathroom. read more

Pho U - there is the house special, chicken fried rice and drinks. - Vietnamese Near Me - La Crescenta-Montrose, California

Still giving five stars, but on our second visit we were informed that they DO NOT serve veggie broth. Unfortunately that's a deal breaker for my honey who was a bit put off that he consumed beef based broth on our first visit. read more

The friend rice was very dry. The location not great for someone with difficulty walking as the parking is slanted and the actual seats are up the steps. No railings on steps. Would not highly recommend. read more

Pho U - Thai Tea, Chicken Pho, Plain Pho-Brisket - Vietnamese Near Me - La Crescenta-Montrose, California

I've been here twice already. They honestly have the best pho broth in town. It's so aromatic the moment it arrives to your table. It smells like clove or star anise and tastes phenomenal even before adding other toppings. My husband also tried their Shortys iced coffee and it was excellent. A tad too sweet for my taste but very good nonetheless. Staff is always friendly and exceptional here. I do miss the Korean food that used to be here previously but I'm glad of this new establishment. Will be back soon! read more

Service is great! Pho broth is clean. Appetizers seem made from frozen and not freshly made in house (fried dumplings and fried egg roll). My pho didn't have enough soup so all the noodles absorbed it after sometime. Not bad for the area but definitely not true authentic Vietnamese food. read more

Called in the order for take-out for me and the better half. TLDR: it's the better local pho spot, a solid 4.5 stars, that I rounded up to 5 due to the great service from the owner. This place is where Nanuri Snack used to be. Pho was legit, my wife and I agree it's our favorite of any of the local spots in CV, Montrose, LC. The broth was really good! Flavorful and not overly greasy. We were pleasantly surprised! The meat (brisket and rare steak) were a bit on the smaller side, but complimented everything well in the grand scheme of things. Did I mention that the broth was really good? Because the broth is really good! Anyhoots, we also got the following sides: - 10 pc dumplings: my son gobbled it up, said it was delicious; I wouldn't know, he didn't share. - egg rolls: decent, get it if you like egg rolls, easy pass for us. - Summer rolls: they add some apple pieces in there which I enjoyed (wife wasn't a fan). Make sure to ask for extra peanut sauce because one container wasn't enough. Happy that my wife and I found our go-to local pho spot and don't have to drive down to Chinatown anymore. read more

Food is bland had to add a bunch of hoisin sauce and chili paste/sriracha. I give it 2 stars cause it was eatable but not that good. The other places in La Crescenta are better tasting... also, bad servings here you don't get your moneys worth in quality or quantity. I won't be attending here ever again. read more

I like this place. Little family business that everyone appreciates. Not so hot on the decor, but the food is fantastic. Come here for the PHO. A little pricey, but that's the way it is in this area. Overall I recommend this restaurant for anyone who enjoys a near-perfect Pho. read more

One of the best phos I've ever had! pWe also had spring rolls which were equally delicious. Will be coming back for sure

Finally a great pho spot in LCR! I was sad to see that Nanuri Snack was gone (where will I get my tuna mayo kimbap now?) but my husband and I decided to try out the place since we are always looking for good food in our area. We got the galbi pho and the pho tai (rare steak) and both were delicious. The rib was HUGE and the portions were big! They're generous with the toppings too. The owner is nice and helped us with getting our daughter's stroller up the stairs as well. The minimalistic interior is a nice refresh with modern vibes too! read more

We ordered the rib pho, chicken fried rice and chicken spring roll for delivery. The rice was HARD borderline uncooked - the chicken was tough, overcooked - inedible. This should not have left a kitchen to serve customers. The spring-roll is advertised as 4 pieces but it is just 2 pieces cut in 2. The pho was ok - nothing spectacular. I made the mistake of trying this for our new year dinner and it was a real disappointment. I am really confused by all the positive reviews. read more

Not cheap but WELL worth it. The food here is amazingly great. We had pho (combo special) and fried rice. We didn't want meat in the rice so asked for it veggie, and it was SO freaking good. I almost never order fried rice, but was really happy to have had it that day. read more

I was in La Crescenta around dinner time and decided to stop by this place. Pho is my favorite dish all time, so I had to give it a try. The server was friendly and made me feel comfortable with his casual, welcoming style. The interior is clean, unique, and spacious. I ordered the house special pho and an egg roll. Food came out quick. The portion was generous, the broth was rich and flavorful with a nice kick, and the meatballs were chewy, juicy, and delicious. Prices are very reasonable, especially compared to K-Town. Definitely a great new spot worth checking out. I'm coming back for sure. read more

Man, let me tell you. Broth is really refreshing. The dumplings, super yummy. I even tried the fried rice and we tore that up! Finally get to have this again since I live far. We were walking up to the front and welcomed us! We sat down, he chit chat with us for a bit. I loved every bit of it. Very spacious! My only complaint is we don't have a location near me LOL. All honesty, I do not mind coming to drive for some amazing food! read more

I've passed by Pho U many times with my curiosity level increasing each time. So, I'm battling a slight cold today and decided that Pho U would be the remedy to cure all. I ordered the beef rib Pho and an order of chicken egg rolls. OMG it was love at first bite! The broth was intensely delicious, the beef rib was so tender and the egg rolls were crunchy and flavorful. Their food reminded me of eating dinner in my mother's kitchen. Lot's of love, nice portions and a delicious memory. If you're curious like I was, please stop and treat your tastebuds to a fantastic meal. Thank you Chef Paul for a very pleasant experience. read more

Ordered for my family and I. I was pressed for time, but wanted to get one of my mom's favorite meals for her birthday during my break. It's hard to find a good local pho spot around these parts, but I think this place did an okay job. The only issue is I asked for the noodles not to be cooked because pho noodles in particular tend to get bloated pretty quickly. All three pho orders already had the cooked noodles in the container. It was not that much of a big deal for my family, but I was planning on eating mine for a late dinner after work. I ended up only eating less than 1/3 of it, and throwing the rest away. For what it's worth, the chicken pho was pretty good. The broth is refreshing and the chicken pieces were decent. I think I would give it a second try later in the future to see if it's worth coming back. read more

Finally a good Vietnamese place in town! Right away it was nice to see that the place is clean and we were welcomed with friendly service. We tried the rare steak pho (piping hot delicious broth with lots of meat), shrimp fried rice (delicious and great for kids), and shrimp egg rolls (super crispy and good). I also got the Vietnamese coffee to-go which was perfectly sweet. Will definitely be going back soon and making this place a part of our regular rotation. read more
